Butch is a member of Team Rocket. When he joined Team Rocket, he was paired up with Cassidy and a Raticate. More successful than their rivals Jessie & James, Butch & Cassidy are given the more high profile jobs for Team Rocket including several Breeding Center scams and many other tasks. Butch is a relatively calm guy, however since people keep mispronouncing his name, calling him Botch, he gets angry. He does have a bit of an elitist attitude, and the scams that he does usually go well, unless Ash & Co. wind up involved. For a brief time, he was teamed up with Jessie in Team Rocket.

Raticate

Raticate is the Pokémon that was assigned to Butch & Cassidy's Duo. Depsite how it looks, Raticate manages to stay strong in battle and get in many good attacks before finally losing. Both Butch & Cassidy share usage of Raticate

Primeape was the first Pokémon owned by Butch that we ever saw, and is a pretty strong Pokémon and can hold itself in battle. However, it has not been seen in many battles other than against Ash & Co. where it subsequently lost.

Butch's Hitmontop was first seen in battle when it was enhanced by a headband that kept Himtontop angry. This allowed it to hone its powers and made it unstoppable until the headband stopped working. After that, Butch trained it but it was fairly weak in battle, as demonstrated by a battle against Gary.

Given Cloyster for the task of capturing Moltres, it was used in combination with Cassidy's Tentacruel to try to weaken it. However it failed to do so and quickly surcome to the Thunderbolt attack of Richie's Pikachu.

After the Breeding Center scam, Butch & Cassidy decided to keep the Drowzee since it showed some strong Psychic powers. Using these psychic powers, Butch & Cassidy managed to Brainwash all the Pokémon on the island. Ash & Co. managed to stop the scheme, but Drowzee's current whereabouts are unknown. It was presumably returned to its rightful trainer by the authorities.
